Information technology is becoming a major feature of emergent development practice. The widespread use of mobile phone message services provides community workers with the ability to feedback information directly exploiting innovative opportunities to acquire better information and deliver better results.
CBM is currently joining these important developments by offering this mobile application technology for their CBID initiative to collect data for the monitoring of their baseline and progress of the CBID initiative plan.
The CBM data collection app offers that data can be monitored and managed in real time, while ensuring consistency across countries and minimising human error in data entry. The mobile application has the focus on its ease of use and simplicity. Also, key aspects as the requirement for offline functionalities and accessibility features were considered.
